What are the sticking points for you? I mean, what's wrong with just using MailChimp? What is the value the "website" gives?
I created a course with some drip content using http://membermouse.com, but it was a lot of work to get it all set up, and ultimately, I don't think it was adding value for the customers to have to log in to view content (there was "value" to me in that my content was "protected," but that's dubious).
I'm launching a new course this week, and the plan is to send HTML files via Gumroad, like I hear Nathan Barry does.
Dripped content is great, but maybe if it was a MailChimp course and you added people manually, or with Gumroad -> Zapier, you might have a perfectly fine solution.
I recently made some cards for myself, and I just told a story about what I do: http://t.co/fnYdRpwHFo
I've found ZURB's responsive HTML templates to be handy: http://zurb.com/playground/responsive-email-templates
Works fine on my Air, but I heard a similar report on a Retina MacBook. Is that what you're on?
Thanks for checking it out!
I knew I wanted to make the body copy big, but just when I thought it was big enough, I made it even bigger. For once, I wanted there to be a site where people might hit "Cmd -" upon visiting.
I'm constantly hitting "Cmd +" when I visit sites, and I know lots of other people do, but you hardly ever hear anyone complain about it. There have definitely been lots of people saying that the type is too big, and that actually makes me smile a little. I'll keep it as is for awhile and see what happens.

You can just link to plain WordPress pages. Sure, some people will share the stuff, but it's so much easier, and people will still buy.
